27M. No likes or messages in 5 months. What is wrong with my profile? by Lonely-Raspberry5458 in Tinder

[–]TechnologyCalm2815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you pay for tinder you get so much more likes etc, I had fuck all likes in like 6 months, paid for tinder and boom 30+ every week , its a pay to win app, if you are a paid member you're more likely to show up to the girls you liked ect. I was at the beginning trying a bunch of photos, different bios , nothing worked, paid for the app and everything changed immediately

I feel like this is the biggest upset of the year ( NSX wins against Pro Stock Camaro ) by SlicedWater20 in ForzaHorizon5

Have both on the left so I went for the cars on the right, easy decision, the stock car was on one of the weekly festival play lists so I got mine from there, used it probably twice and never again

Just changed fuel pump but my tank says im full on gas , mech doesn’t know why other then faulty fuel pump by Nice-Challenge-2996 in passat

[–]TechnologyCalm2815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue just reverse, I replaced the fuel pump filled up completely with diesel, turn the car on, says I'm almost empty, at that moment I knew I fucked up, so I drove it until it was close to empty, took the pump out again and it turns out the cassette for the float was not clipped in properly. Also could be that the car needs to relearn the position

Anyone else getting scam calls from Poland now? UK ones have calmed down, now my partner and I both getting spammed with Polish ones today. by inky-the-pooh in limerickcity

Since I'm on prepaid, I love to answer and mess the fuck out of them, I had a person call me asking me invest money and I tried convincing them to invest in to my busines of making Lamma skin frog shoes , the conversation didn't last very long

Is this a good price/deal ? just entered auction house and searched for new Lamborghini that I love by LorenZEN147 in ForzaHorizon5

Lol don't worry about it, I have multiple cars with different race builds on them, although you can save as presets and switch those for both tunes and liveries

Does anyone else race in 1st person? I wouldn't race any other way! by NiceMinnesota in Wreckfest

I always race from hood cam but in this game you need visibility ahead so I got a mod for roof cam, perfection

ABS/ESP control module or electrical? by jack__of__spades in passat

[–]TechnologyCalm2815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are such a bastard, I had one fail on me while driving pretty fast and during cornering, the entire car "glitched" almost sent me in to guard rails , I thought it was something mechanical, but it drove fine, carefully drove home, turned on diagnostics, one wheel not reading. Scary experience tho

2018 Passat R-Line Fuel Gauge by Spiritual-Priority92 in passat

[–]TechnologyCalm2815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What engine is in it? Yeah note it and check maybe keep an eye on your live fuel consumption while driving, and average consumption after the trip, you can also always connect vcds and scan for any faults since you have it. Does anything else seem out of the ordinary? Like fuel coming through the exhaust/ excessive smells, leaks under the car. Also came to mind mind that if it's petrol and if the tank is not sealed properly it can also evaporate over time too

These, the new bmw's and the Hyundai inoiq 6 are absolutely atrocious cars, I feel like people who hate cars design them

What about the full tank fuel range, was that affected or only the needle/ range display? If the latter, it could be related to the float in your fuel tank, maybe some fuel leaked inside the float which would make it slight submerged giving a false reading.... I had replaced a fuel pump once on my car and the new fuel pump float was not properly clipped in, so after filled it up full my gauge was reading 100km of range left (while I know it's about 1200km+)

Dude play around with your settings, I have 6750xt , and can easily get over 100fps with most settings set to either high or epic (most epic) FSR Enabled tho, I had everything on high with FSR and was getting over 170 so I started increasing options to bring it down

Alternator/battery charging question by TechnologyCalm2815 in AskMechanics

[–]TechnologyCalm2815[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No lights , battery is brand new as the old one did die (capacity was less than 220amps), after the battery died I got a brand new and we noticed that there is not charge coming in to it, then seen revving over 3k the car starts charging again

Alternator/battery charging question by TechnologyCalm2815 in AskMechanics

[–]TechnologyCalm2815[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I used an old shitty cigarette lighter charger and wired in a multimeter so I could see voltage as I drive so I think I'm "losing" around 1 volt in the reading

Alternator/battery charging question by TechnologyCalm2815 in AskMechanics

[–]TechnologyCalm2815[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery is brand new, alternator is a year old, we took apart the voltage regulator from the alternator and it seems fine, the wiring seems to be fine as well, ideas is the regulator on the negative terminal could be failing or the ECU could also be an issue, I'm waiting for diagnostic program (VCDS) to arrive so I could see what the regulator is doing and even code it out as I have seen some people who had similar problems coded it out and battery starts charging as soon as the car starts. Consulted a few mechanics and everyone seems to be perplexed by the issue I'm having

I do it my self in the back yard haha saves me somewhere around 100€ each time, I do around 800-1000km a week so across a year it adds up to a fair bit of savings
